Manufacturers’ Monthly is delighted to announce that our finalists for the 11th annual Endeavour Awards have been selected, from a record field of candidates.

Since launching the 2014 awards in October last year, we’ve been chuffed to see the nominations come in, as a trickle at first then a wave in the couple of weeks before the cut-off.

We can say with quite a bit of delight that we ended up with 138 of your entries – by far the biggest number in the awards’ 11-year history and very nearly TWICE the amount of entries as last year.

To continue using the editorial “we” for a little while longer, we have to re-state our belief in the importance of the awards. There’s obviously a lot of coverage around high-profile factory closure announcements in the mainstream media, but what are put forward much more rarely are the success stories that are out there in abundance.

The Endeavour Awards are always an antidote to the bad news, and are there to celebrate our industry’s many and diverse successes. Among the 138 entries – all of them from companies that should be very, very proud of themselves – we have finalists doing great things, making products including everything from aortic stent grafts to milk powder to unmanned aerial vehicles to much, much more.

The thing they all have in common is excellence.

Without any further throat clearing, here is a list of the finalists. Again, we congratulate each and every one of you for what you do every day and for helping put together the strongest field ever in the history of the Endeavour Awards.

You will be contacted individually with further congratulations and invitations to the May 13 gala awards dinner.
